The case, which pertains to a law that seeks to limit use of the drug RU-486 to those who do so in the care of a physician, is Cline v. Oklahoma Coalition. At issue is whether the Oklahoma Supreme Court erred in its ruling that the law requiring that abortion-inducing drugs be administered according to the protocol described on the drugs’ FDA-approved labels is unconstitutional.

The Center for Reproductive Rights filed a legal challenge in October 2011 to block the state law that would have banned any off-label use of the medications.

The law was temporarily blocked in October 2011 and then struck down by a district court judge in May 2012.

The SCOTUS will determine whether states are constitutionally allowed to make such a law.

“This is an extraordinary decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to review the actions of Oklahoma’s Supreme Court, which has consistently misapplied federal law to strike down Oklahoma abortion laws,” Attorney General Scott Pruitt said. “This law does not ban the use of abortion-inducing drugs, but seeks to protect women from harmful off-label uses. The Court grants less than 1 percent of such review requests and we look forward to the opportunity to defend Oklahoma’s right to protect its citizens.”
